4. I. INTRODUCTION
TO THE BOOK OF RUTH
AUTHOR: Uncertain DATE: c. 1000 B.C.
Authorship The author is unknown to us, though Samuel is suggested by some.
Date Though the events of the book occurred during the period of the judges (the
latter part of the twelfth century B.C.), the book itself was not writhe until later.
(Notice that the author felt compelled to explain customs no longer practiced, 4:6-
8.) The last verses of the book trace Ruth’s descendants only to King David,
strongly suggesting that the book was written during his reign. If it had been
written later, we would expect the genealogy to be extended beyond David to
include Solomon.
Background The book provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary, though
godly, people during the turbulent period of the judges (see Introduction to the
book of Judges). It shows an oasis of faithfulness in an age marked by idolatry and
unfaithfulness.
Themes (1) Ruth herself shows that Gentiles could believe in the true God. (2)
The book gives a partial lineage of David, and thus of Christ, and shows that
Gentile blood was in the line of the One who became the Savior for tall mankind.
(3) Boaz, as the kinsman-redeemer (see note on 3:9), serves as a beautiful type of
Christ, in that (a) he was a blood relative (Rom 1:3; Heb. 2:14); (b) he had the
price with which to purchase the forfeited inheritance (1 Pet. 1:18-19); (c) he was
willing to redeem (Heb. 10:7). (4) The book is a moving example of the sovereignty
of God in caring for His people (Ruth 2:12).

Naomi and Ruth
Ruth 1
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from
you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people
will be my people and your God my God.
17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD
deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you
and me.”

7. Naomi and Ruth
Ruth 2
19 Her mother-in-law ask her, “Where did you glean today? Where did
you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!” Then Ruth told
her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working.
“The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.

8. Boaz and Ruth
Ruth 3:9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said.
“Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a kinsman-
redeemer.”
Note on 3:9 Spread the corner of your garment over me.
As a pledge that he would marry her. This expression is used of God’s relation to
Israel in Ezek. 16:8. The reason for Ruth’s request is that Boaz was a kinsman-
redeemer (Heb., goel, see note on Isa. 59:17-21). The responsibilities of the
kinsman-redeemer included (1) redeeming family property that had changed
ownership, and (2) marrying a childless widow to raise up children in her dead
husband’s name. According to the law of levirate marriage (see note on 1:11-12),
when there was no brother to raise up children in the name of the deceased, the

9. responsibility was extended to the next of kin. Ruth’s action was in accord with this
law, which required the initiative of the widow in seeking the marriage (Deut. 25:5,
7-10). Ruth was indicating that night her desire to have Boaz, who had given every
evidence of willingness to perform the duties of kinsman-redeemer.
